After deciding to give up, I became popular

Although I was intimidated by Hayasaka Ai's serious expression last night, now that I think about it, the method she suggested is actually full of loopholes—

Asking if the other person has a girlfriend through casual conversation, and then further probing to find out who they like.

If the President says her name, Kaguya Shinomiya, she would take the opportunity to step forward and act like it was a chance encounter, and then claim that she accidentally heard the fact that "the President likes her," and then use this to force the President to admit it……

It would be great if things could go so smoothly.

But the key is that Hayasaka isn't familiar with the President either? Why would the President confide in her?

If it were Fujiwara Chika, who is also a friend of both of them, she might be able to complete such a task, but as for her… it's better to trust Hayasaka to do it!

It's not that Kaguya Shinomiya doesn't trust her friend, but she instinctively feels that if that idiot takes action, things might turn out differently.

Maybe it would be completely reversed, and she would end up admitting to the President that "she likes the President," and she definitely doesn't want that outcome!

"Hayasaka, are you sure you can get the President to say those words? I really feel like it's unreliable," Kaguya Shinomiya asked again.

Some things really can't be thought about too much, otherwise you'll become more and more worried and uneasy.

"Don't worry, Miss, I guarantee it with my professional ethics."

"But isn't your profession a maid? What does that have to do with love?" Kaguya Shinomiya was very puzzled.

"Ahem… anyway, Miss, just watch my performance, I guarantee I'll complete the task," Hayasaka Ai was too lazy to explain any further.

From her young lady's perspective, this matter is indeed difficult to handle, but for her, Hayasaka Ai, it's completely easy!

It's just a little bit of verbal manipulation, that kind of thing is completely easy for a professional maid, the real difficulty is how to approach young master Xia Chuan.

Being too intimate is definitely not okay, young master Xia Chuan will definitely reject her; but being too indifferent is also not okay, then she won't even have the qualification to start a topic, so she must grasp the right degree of interaction.

"I'm going, Miss."

"Yeah, good luck Hayasaka," Kaguya Shinomiya nodded, clenching her fist to cheer on her maid.

……

"Should I go back…"

Casually flipping through the paperback book in his hand, Yue Chuanzou became more and more bored, so he prepared to get up and leave.

"President?"

An unfamiliar voice came from his ear, and Xia Chuanzou subconsciously turned his head to look.

A girl with golden shawl-length hair, wearing a Xiuzhiyuan school uniform, stood cutely to the side.

She tilted her head slightly, staring at him with a smile on her face.

School uniform, golden hair… Angel-sama?

However, it wasn't, just a complete stranger.

If it weren't for that almost directly named "President", he wouldn't even offer a subconscious glance to such a passerby.

"You are?"

"It's really the President! I'm so lucky!" The smile on the girl's face grew even brighter, staring at him with joy in her eyes, "I'm Hasaka from class four in the second year."

"Hasaka… is there something you need?" Xia Chuanzou asked.

He had no impression of ever seeing her before, although the name sounded familiar, he couldn't remember who it was.

Probably some "background character" who admired him, like those who persistently stuffed love letters into his shoe cabinet every day.

Although a bit annoying, it's actually easy to deal with.

"I don't have anything, just saw the President alone, so I came over to say hello…"

The girl looked shy and bashful, giving people a feeling of being full of thoughts.

Her eyes were charming and shy, and her red lips opened with a smile.

She could indeed be called a beautiful and youthful girl, but it had nothing to do with him.

"Yeah," Xia Chuanzou nodded, considering it a response to the other party, "It's getting late, I'll go back first, don't wander around outside alone for too long."

Responding was politeness, and exhorting was the duty of the student council president, but it was impossible for him to say anything more.

Golden-haired girl: "…"

Although she still had a smile on her face, she was actually frantically complaining about Xia Chuanzou in her heart.

She was such a charming and beautiful girl, and you actually gave her such an indifferent look when she took the initiative to greet you? Too bullying! Forget this conversation!

However, it was impossible, because Kaguya-sama was secretly watching them somewhere, and she must not retreat like this and be laughed at by the young lady……

This golden-haired girl was naturally Hayasaka Ai, who had confidently said that she would definitely complete the task.

Pretending to be a chance encounter, inadvertently expressing the thought of "being lucky", followed by a cute smile that was universally appealing to both men and women, it was clearly a flawless combo, but it was blocked by President Xia Chuan one by one?

Just how difficult is he to deal with?!

Hayasaka Ai complained frantically in her heart, she naturally knew that Xia Chuanzou, "who was in love", was indifferent to other girls, but she really didn't expect that even such ordinary casual conversations, he looked unwilling to continue.

There was no way, she had to go straight.

Hayasaka Ai understood that it was impossible for the other party to have empathy and actively ask her "if she needed help", at this moment she could only actively seek help in order to continue the topic.

"I know this is presumptuous, but I still have to say… President, please help me!"

"…"

041. Not the Young Lady but Her? (5.5K)

Watching the close interaction between Hayasaka Ai and Xia Chuanzou, Kaguya Shinomiya felt very conflicted in her heart.

On the one hand, she hoped that her maid could successfully elicit the President's words, to find out from his mouth who he liked and whether he really harbored feelings of love for her.

On the other hand, she hoped that the President could be immune to Hayasaka Ai's "beauty trap", and not reveal his inner thoughts so easily in front of unfamiliar people.

The former was out of her private desires and as part of her plan, while the latter was out of concern for one thing—if the President really revealed the fact that he liked someone so easily, wouldn't that prove that all the efforts she had made before were in vain?

Clearly, it was an answer that could be obtained as long as someone else took the initiative to ask, but she had been beating around the bush for so long and still hadn't managed to get it done… she would definitely not be able to withstand such a blow!

And more importantly, although she had a lot of confidence in the President, what if! What if the President fell in love with such an Ai……

! How, how is that possible! Haha, how is that possible! That idiotic Hayasaka, the President would never transfer his affections, right! Absolutely!

Really, she should have more trust in the President!

Secretly cheering herself up, Kaguya Shinomiya continued to secretly observe Xia Chuanzou and the others, afraid of missing any details.

Kaguya Shinomiya, who had never been in love, had completely lost her judgment under Hayasaka Ai's verbal offensive these days.

She now firmly believed in what Hayasaka said, that "the President actually likes the young lady, but is just too embarrassed to confess", and didn't think about other possibilities at all.

At most, she was just a little worried that Xia Chuanzou would transfer his affections and fall in love with the pretentious Hayasaka… just a little!

As for the two people being secretly spied on by her……

"I'm sorry, President, for making you accompany me for a while…"

"It's nothing, I just happen to have some free time," Xia Chuanzou shook his head, responding very reluctantly.

In reality, if the other party hadn't used the forbidden trick of "President, please help me!", he would have left directly.

Alas, the so-called student council president is sometimes such a helpless existence.

"That's great, as expected, the President is a gentle person."

"…" Xia Chuanzou's eyebrows twitched as he listened, feeling that the other party was mocking him, but he couldn't come up with any evidence.

"Actually, I've always wanted my own computer, but because I don't understand this kind of thing, I've been hesitant," Hayasaka Ai revealed a very troubled expression, and then broke into a smile.

"But luckily I met the President, I heard that boys know more about this kind of thing, so I was thinking of asking the President to recommend one."

"You've come to the wrong person, I don't know anything about this," Xia Chuanzou shook his head, answering truthfully.

He had been living in this world for almost 18 years, not to mention computer equipment, he rarely even used his phone to go online, and in his previous life, he had studied to death without ever owning his own phone.

His family's discipline was very strict, his daily life was filled with a large number of study courses, and he was so busy that he didn't have much time to rest. Not only that, but even what friends he made were restricted by his parents, and he had no freedom.

Once, by chance, he heard his classmates talking about some anime and chatting very excitedly, so he thought of going back and learning about it so that he could have common topics with them at school.

After that, every weekend and holiday, he would spend his only 1 hour of entertainment time watching anime and following new episodes. At first, of course, it was just to be able to get along with his classmates.

Later, gradually, watching the male and female protagonists in the anime living a relaxed and happy daily life, he became a little yearning and began to imagine that he could also have such a life……

In short, he really didn't know anything about electronic equipment, so he didn't have the idea of ​​pretending to be something he wasn't. What he didn't understand, he didn't understand. Instead of forcibly agreeing for the sake of face, it was better to honestly admit his shortcomings.

"Uh…" Hayasaka Ai was stunned, thinking why don't you follow the routine at all.

At this time, a normal boy wouldn't respond like this, right?

If you want to refuse her advances, she's just asking for help and hasn't done anything out of line!

Besides, even if you really don't know anything, it's impossible not to hide it at all in front of a cute girl……

"Then, then it doesn't matter! It's just choosing a computer, I believe in the President's intuition."

"Sorry, I can't do it," Xia Chuanzou shook his head, "Based on my intuition……"

"In short, I can't help you, sorry, I'll go back first."

"Wait, wait a minute! President!" Hayasaka Ai was shocked and hurriedly chased after him.

She had expected that the process of capturing him might be difficult, but she really didn't expect it to be so frustrating: "Actually, there's another thing I want to ask you to help me with!"

"…"

There was no way, Xia Chuanzou had to turn around and look at her again.

"What is it?"

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but Xia Chuanzou always felt that the girl in front of him was a little too persistent, and she didn't give up even after he had refused so many times.

"I, I want to ask the President to teach me my homework!" Hayasaka Ai had a pitiful expression, "Not to hide it from the President, but my grades are actually very bad, and no matter how much I study, I can't improve……"

After the expected topic was ruled out, Hayasaka Ai couldn't think of anything else to talk about.

Games? She doesn't play them herself; sports? It's not suitable to talk about them in this situation at all; love topics? Although it does fit her ultimate mission, the relationship between the two is still very stiff, and rashly bringing it up won't achieve the goal.

Therefore, she can only start from the learning that the other party is good at.

As someone who can defeat Miss Kaguya in this area, young master Xia Chuan must be very proud of his learning ability, right?

Then use this to satisfy young master Xia Chuan's desire to "be a good teacher"!

"Do it here?" Xia Chuanzou hesitated.

"Is it not okay?" Hayasaka Ai looked at him expectantly.

"…Okay," After hesitating for a long time, Xia Chuanzou still nodded.

The shop assistants next to them had been paying attention to the commotion caused by the two of them for a long time, and it really wasn't a matter if he kept refusing like this.

After all, judging from the persistence of the girl in front of him, she definitely wouldn't give up if he didn't agree.

Is this the so-called love brain? The desire to attack is indeed very strong.

Xia Chuanzou sighed a little, thinking that if any of the girls he had pursued in the past had been like this, he wouldn't still be single……

Hmm… maybe… he could really consider finding a random girl like this to fall in love with?

Other things aside for the time being, at least… she should have a little bit of goodwill towards him, right? Or is it really possible that she likes him? Otherwise, she wouldn't be so actively approaching him……

Since he can't be with the girl he likes, then find someone who likes him… maybe the feelings aren't sincere, but he's willing to always shoulder the responsibility until he truly falls in love with the other party.

But having said that, he can't be sure what the other party is thinking, so he has to observe it again.

Thinking like this, Xia Chuanzou's attitude subconsciously became gentler.

"Then let's go to the cafe over there."

"Okay!" Hayasaka Ai nodded obediently, thinking that the trick of "please teach me to study!" was indeed useful, and young master Xia Chuan's attitude towards her had visibly improved.

After the two were seated, Hayasaka Ai took out the math problems she had prepared earlier from her bag and pushed them in front of Xia Chuanzou.

Xia Chuanzou nodded and began to scan the markings on it.

As he had expected, girls like this were indeed not good at subjects like math, after all, this thing… you either know it or you don't, there's no way around it.
